Red Bull X-Alps

The Red Bull X-Alps is an international competition for paragliding teams in bivouac flying , which was first held in 2003. He is considered the hardest paraglider -competition the world and as one of the toughest adventure - Races of the world, as it over several days - will take place - with only the most necessary breaks and rest periods. The competition has the status of an unofficial world championship .

The documentary film “The Red Bull X-Alps 2005” was shot about the 2005 event and took part in the 18th International Mountain & Adventure Film Festival Graz in 2006 . Since then, documentation has been published for every competition and has been awarded various prizes.

The author of the competition was Hannes Arch . He was inspired by the documentary Happy Icarus , in which Toni Bender crosses the main Alpine ridge from Brauneck near Bad Tölz to Bassano del Grappa .

The competition

The aim of the competition is to cross the Alpine arc from Salzburg to Monaco . Various turning buoys must be passed here. The exact route varies due to the turning points, which are changed from competition to competition. The only means of transport permitted are flying with a paraglider and moving on foot, with Nordic walking sticks also permitted. Any use of mountain railways , cars , tunnels or other aids is not permitted.

In the current edition, the duration is limited to the winning time plus 24 hours, but at least eleven days. For the pilots who did not reach the goal, the missing distance to the goal is assessed.

For safety reasons, a new rule was introduced for 2011: the athletes must take an uninterrupted break between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. During this time they are not allowed to move further than 250 meters from their resting position.

In 2013, the safety precautions were extended to the effect that the mandatory rest break was extended by 1.5 hours. It now covers the period between 10:30 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. However, a night pass was introduced for the 2013 competition , with which every athlete is exempted from the obligation to rest at night during the race. The use of the Nightpass must be registered by 12 noon on the day in question. Furthermore, prototype umbrellas are no longer allowed, only paragliders, harnesses , rescue equipment and helmets that have the current EN or LTF certification . In addition, the athletes must permanently carry a climbing harness with a via ferrata set (also EN-certified).

The team

A team consists of the pilot and an assistant (two assistants were permitted in 2013). The assistant is allowed to provide the pilot with information , food and equipment and serves as a link to the race management.

The pilot must always carry the paraglider, his harness with reserve parachute , helmet and a GPS receiver with a device for transmitting this GPS data. All other equipment may be transported by the supporter in parts.

execution

Thanks to GPS technology, the entire competition can be followed around the clock via live tracking on the Internet . The current location is continuously transmitted to the race management via the data logger and GSM mobile phone and made visible on the official website.

In addition, the pilots must have a camera with them. The supporters use the captured image and video material to update the pilots' online diary.

Red Bull X-Alps 2015

The 7th edition of the race began on July 5, 2015. On July 2, a prologue was held in Fuschl for the first time . In contrast to the last event, there was no reporting on ServusTV.

Routing

10	Peille

On July 2nd - three days before the start of the main competition - a prologue was held for the first time. The rules correspond to those of the main competition, but the route in the Fuschl am See area is local, so that the entire route could be completed in a few hours. The three fastest participants were given a five-minute lead at the start and a second night pass for the main competition.

Participating teams and results

On October 29, 2014, the first 31 athletes for the race were announced. The field was expanded to include two wildcard athletes on January 8, 2015.

The eighth edition of the race started on July 2, 2017 at Mozartplatz in Salzburg, Austria. As in the previous event, a prologue was held again. The one-day race takes place in Fuschl am See in the Salzburgerland region. The three best placed athletes in the prologue each received a second night pass for the main competition. In addition, the mandatory night's sleep on the second day of the competition was extended by the time difference to the prologue winner. Chrigel Maurer was unable to take part in the prologue due to illness. Accordingly, he was only allowed to start on the second day of the competition at 7:31:21 (one hour after the last placed in the prologue).
